Whiffs found on Model Cars Mag forums

[puddingwrestler]

There are rather a lot of whiffs over on the Model Cars Mag Forums - but then again, car modelers seem much more free-form and open to imagination than plane and armour guys. Plenty of things along the lines of 'what would I do to car X if I owned it and had an infinite budget', but this one stood out to me...

I'll let you follow the link and have a look at the project, suffice to say that a: it ends up looking a lot different and b: now I am thinking about flying Edsels...

- but then again, car modelers seem much more free-form and open to imagination than plane and armour guys.

Perhaps because it's possible to do it for real?

Custom cars have, and have had for many years, a real world presence which is impossible with aircraft and armour. Well, it's impossible with the budgetry and legal restrictions placed on most of us anyway!

Like the Star Fire, good to see how it's evolved from the modellers first thoughts.

Someone asked the question "What if WhIfs become mainstream" somewhere? The answer in America is called Rat Rods. They were things cobbled together from what was on hand or easily available and now it has progreesed to simulated 'patina' and rust.People are building really nice hot rods and then finishing them in simulated aged paint and rust.
So yes, WhIfs can become mainstream.
